Fancy an aquarium?

Maintaining an aquarium requires regular attention and care to create a healthy and attractive environment for fish and plants.

However, thanks to modern digital technologies, this task has become much easier and less time-consuming, leaving more time to enjoy the calming ambience of the colorful underwater world.

Smart aquarium filter simulates currents

A particularly useful device for crystal clear and clean water in the aquarium is, for example, an electronic external filter with integrated WLAN function, which can be programmed and controlled without an additional app.

The professionel 5e from Eheim, for example, cleans the water both mechanically and biologically and can be individually adapted to the needs of the aquarium. This allows different flow conditions to be simulated in the aquarium - for example, a lower flow at night than during the day.

The integrated electronics monitor all functions and ensure a constant water flow, which extends the cleaning intervals of the biological filter material. If maintenance is necessary, you will receive a notification by email. In addition, a smart UV clarifier can be used to reduce the number of germs and algae spores in the water.

Network devices with each other

A further addition is a digital pH controller, which can be used to monitor and regulate the pH value of the aquarium via smartphone, tablet or PC. A sensor continuously measures the pH value and the controller controls the CO2 supply via a connected CO2 system with a solenoid valve.

This ensures that the plants are optimally supplied with CO2. This promotes plant growth and supports the ecological balance of the aquarium. The networking and integration of the various smart devices into the home WiFi network makes aquarium care even more convenient - a guide to the smart devices is available at www.eheim.com.

If, for example, the filter is coupled with an electronic lighting system, the performance adapts to the set day-night rhythm. If it is linked to a smart feeder, however, the pump performance of the filter is reduced during feeding.

If the automatic feeder is connected to the aquarium heater, you will be warned before feeding if the water temperature is too high, for example.

Background

An aquarium can be much more than just a pretty decorative object in the living room. Keeping fish and aquatic plants brings with it numerous advantages that have a positive effect on both the well-being of the inhabitants and the atmosphere in the room.

1. Relaxation and stress relief

Watching fish gliding peacefully through the water has a calming effect on many people. Studies show that looking at an aquarium can lower blood pressure and reduce stress. The gentle sound of the water and the quiet bubbling of the filter also help to relax.

2. Increasing the aesthetics of the room

A beautifully designed aquarium can be a real eye-catcher and give any room a special touch. By selecting different types of fish and plants, the aquarium can be individually designed so that it fits harmoniously into the respective living environment.

3. Promoting a sense of responsibility

An aquarium requires regular care and attention. By caring for the fish and cleaning the tank every day, aquarium owners develop a strong sense of responsibility. Maintaining an aquarium can be an educational experience, especially for children, which teaches them how to treat living creatures with respect.

4. Improved indoor climate

Aquariums can have a positive effect on the indoor climate by increasing the humidity. Especially in the winter months, when the air is often dry due to heating, an aquarium can help to improve the indoor climate and thus increase the well-being of the residents.

Conclusion

An aquarium offers many advantages that go far beyond just visual enhancement. It can contribute to a more relaxed everyday life, promote a sense of responsibility - and even improve the indoor climate.

This means that the aquarium can be a worthwhile investment for your home…
